As you can see here, I founded a privacy community r/privatelife, now have c/privatelife on Lemmy since I decided to stop Reddit and pause the community indefinitely. I founded it to stop the nonsense western privacy communities allowed peddling in favour of or coping with Big Tech usage. I try to enforce the same things here to maintain a solid standard that otherwise barely existed.

Granted I am no Shadow Wiki/digdeeper who hosts content on Tor and I2P about making HAM radios and stuff, but I bridge the gap, and we all know each other because very few people do authentic privacy and freedom work with honest intent. Most are incompetent, some do it for clout and are slimy.
Zuckerberg called people dumbfu*ks for using his platform, and it being part of PRISM few years after Lifelog revelations seems to coincide too much with CIA backing. There should be links via CFR or Bilderberg or Trilateral Commission probably, and considering how Congress summon theatres are played out for Facebook or Google versus Tiktok, it is not too far fetched.
As for Cloudflare, this will “pill” you. Many years ago, someone wrote it, and I ensure to carry this knowledge around. https://lemmy.ml/comment/84299
When I get a chance to actually read that with the level of attention it demands I’ll probably ask you some questions about it.
This is not a defense of Zuckerberg: he said that in 2004. People were more slapdash about their personal data back then and frankly he was right.
It’s always surprising to me how much more attention is paid to policies and warrant canaries in the privacy space than the jurisdiction a company falls under. It’s not like Facebook could tell the government “no, thank you.” When they’re served a warrant for search and seizure.
I tend to see corporate actions as aligned against my interests as opposed to ontologically evil. There’s no need for an overtly coordinated conspiracy when the same goals are accomplished through a revolving door policy between the administrative state and the largest data handling companies in human history.
Of course, Facebook would never even want to say no to such a request because making the kind of money they do requires close coordination with government.
I get it. Reddit was a huge platform and relying on trust there was impossible.
I didn’t come to lemmy from reddit, and my ideas about privacy are more grounded and everyday than yours. To give you some idea of how I got to where I am, I foiad myself after getting a tipoff and found out that completely unrelated to anything digital or computerized or any failure of operational security from my actions, I don’t have privacy.
Before that, what now seems like many years ago, when data brokerages became accessible I looked for myself and everything (and I mean everything) was there. Again, through no fault of mine and in one case without any relation to digital documents at all I did not have privacy. In one case it happened while I was a child!
People wring their hands about gen a coming into adulthood with unerasable digital records that will haunt them forever. I’m middle age.
